Jobs' next dream: take back the computer business
Readers of "iCon: The Greatest Second Act in the History of Business," learn that Jobs returned quickly to work after cancer surgery to chase after one more "outlandish Stevian dream: to take back the computer business from Microsoft." According to the authors: "There's one more battle he wants to win ... Steve Jobs is going to best Bill Gates." The book is an unauthorized and controversial biography of the Apple CEO. The book's print run doubled after Apple pulled publisher John Wiley & Sons' books from the Apple Store, which turned out to be a "publicity hit." iCon looks at the kinder, gentler Jobs. "Steve is the leader but now understands that he isn't the only important participant," Young and Simon write. A lengthy excerpt from the book was recently published covering the iPod and Jonathan Ive.
